To cap off the end of a year, Burger King UK unveiled BK Unwrapped 2024, which provides insight into some of the most popular—and most unusual—customer order requests.
According to the findings, even though temperatures soared to a scorching 34.8°C (94.64°F) in mid-August, there was an uptick in orders for fiery flavors, with orders of Chilli Cheese Bites tripling at Burger King UK. And Burger King UK’s Whopper Wednesdays offer saw its busiest day on Valentine's Day—with many customers requesting the onions on the burger to be removed.
Spotify Wrapped, the annual summary of users' listening habits, has grown from a marketing stunt to a social media phenomenon, and its far-reaching influence sees other companies creating similar campaigns for consumers who are hungry for data.
